It turns out that Steph’s incredible marksmanship and range is not solely related to the sport of basketball. Anyone who has been following the NBA for a while will know that Curry’s shooting release speed and incredible range set him apart from all other competitors in the league.
Although it is unclear if Steph rivals golf legends in terms of proficiency, he certainly garnered attention by acing a 152-yard 7th hole in the American Century Championship. To those who do not know, the ACC is a well-known celebrity golf tournament held during the second week of July every year at the shore of Lake Tahoe, a place in Nevada.
